Ah not looking good for me then
Nope sold out of the 32GB £35 a month for 12 month tariff
Could be waiting a long time for an Iphone, just hope because they have some to sell online that they are getting them out to the shops more as i am on a priority list
Ok ....
It's totally anal that I noticed this, but after closer inspection it seems that right on the very top of my iPhone 4 there is a little gap between where the plastic "trim" that edges the front glass meets the stainless steel band.
It basically runs the length of the top of the phone, from the first "antenna strip" to the left edge of the sleep/wake button.
It's open enough for me to get the corner of a piece of paper into, but it doesn't leak any light. I'm not overly worried about dust getting behind the screen, since the glass is laminated to the display, so it's more or less sealed anyway.
At first I thought it was a shadow being cast by the edge of the steel band, but alas no. It's probably been there since I bought it as well, but I'm kind of ashamed that I noticed it to begin with!
I know Apple replace iPhone's on the "cosmetic defect" basis, but I'd be too embarrassed walking up to the Genius Bar and going, "Look, can you see it? Give me a bit of paper and I'll show you". I can only begin to imagine the looks I'd get!
Hey...You should check your phone in the apple store because you paid a heck of money for it. So assume that you want a product with functions properly. It doesn't matter how stupid you look cause I remeberd a guy in the apple store which was asking if 3g connectivity works on the iphone 3gs...
So its your phone, you paid for it and therefore it should be a marvless piece of technology with no difference from mine and yours. The choices are up to you but in my case I would walk into the apple store and show them the problem regardless of how people will think of me....At the end I'm the user which then have to worry about future problems.....
Hoped it helped
Good luck with that order. According to HUKD, Tesco Direct did not have any phones to sell on the website and it was a mistake. Seems like all those that ordered online had their orders cancelled. About 300 phones were available via the telephone order line and went in double quick time.
ok, went hardcore today. Been on the priority list since the 25th, got my email to come down to the apple store and gave my reserved iPhone to my dad so I could wait and get the white one. Was so, so, SO tempted to just keep it but definitely want the white. Its beautiful though, and no signal problems so far.
I can't find an article to this so please may i have a link
And anybody who has ordered please give us info on whats happened to your order ?

Thanks, Well everything looks fine thus far so can only think Tesco will have some coming into their shops soon.

Yeah, I agree with you 100%, but I think I'll wait and see if the gap gets bigger before returning it.
As I said, you REALLY need to look for it and it's embarrassing that even I seen it!
Oddly enough, I'm in Uddingston, just outside Glasgow, just now and can get a full five bar 3G signal and use the "grip" to make the signal drop.
First time I've been able to do it in an area with full bars on 3G.
So I'm just wondering if Apple stores would offer the phone on the Tesco mobile deal? Or do they only offer payg phones?
I've been trying to call the closest one to me but its always soo busy.

Nope, up for me and i can add to basket
Any more updates from the guys who ordered last night ?

Ta-da.
Mine still says 'At warehouse - dispatching soon' after ordering it at 6 last night, but it's probably gonna get canceled anyway. Ordered before I even read about them getting cancelled
Tesco do seem to be getting fresh stock into their warehouse on a weekly basis.
I ordered a 32gb one on their telesales line last Wednesday lunchtime after a tip off on HUKD, and it arrived on Friday. I was on hold for 25 minutes and the call lasted about 40 minutes though.
Logic would suggest that because they had stock on launch day, then again last Wednesday, they may be having more stock in today or later on this week.

Do you have a link to the 16GB version on the same tariff? I can't seem to find it, as all say "Out of Stock".
Is it only the £35/month tariff that you can seem to order online? I want the £20/month iP4 32GB tariff.
Just ordered the 32gb £35 pm contract from tesco. Received confirmation email straight away. says it will be here 2moro.
Fingers crossed.
now do i just get my pac code from o2 and call Tesco ?? not sure what to do?
